NPC Should Not Sell

[HamHam]

Anything above level 20. After level 20, the market should be driven by the gatherers and crafters. Armor, weapons and items above level 20, should not be sold by NPCs.

There's no incentive for anyone to buy any weapon or armor already at high level because of dungeons; npc should not be also offering items that can be made by crafters or can be gathered too.

I can understand having an initial point to help those that are new, but not all the way to level 50.

Imagine living in the real world where the government provides everyone with everything, then no one will able to compete or have the incentive to provide any service, no market would be able to survive like this.

That's how Eorzea economy is right now. Crafters and gatherers can't compete with the game, when everything is being provided by it.

Right now, there's no economy in this game, at least not a stable economy that relies on crafters and gatherers.

What do you think?

As long as RMT exists I will never agree with the auction house owning the majority of items.

Then might as well as get rig of the auction house if that's your mentality.

Then we're left with a game built around RMT. Wonderful.

So you want to run into more people with lv20 gear from haukke manor onwards?

That would be preferred, plenty of games get by without an auction house.

Not happening when ilvl requirement is implemented. Come on, make more excuses.

I mean, no wonder you're making that argument, you have no crafting or gathering class pass 15, and only your fisher is 24. I don't think you should be making any input into this conversation.

This is a conversation for those who have experience the market through their gathering and crafting class.

1) NPC's don't sell HQ's.
2) NPC's that sell stuff past 20 are usually only in one specific spot and most players can not be bothered to travel and waste time just to save 1k on a NQ.
3) NPC gets expensive, fast. No one on their right mind would buy a level 30 weapon for 20k when the AH has it at 5k.
4) NPC's items don't sell the vintage/recrafted gears that are almost always superior.

I could go on and on. Really, I haven't considered NPC's as any kind of competition, ever.

Wait, people buy gear from NPCs?
